We have the most boring and safe architecture. The rest of the world gets something new and exciting and we here in Cowtown yell at it to get off our lawn. DARN KIDS.
The folks in Tel Aviv complain about their architecture all the time. Last time I looked, they had 200 skyscrapers going up and all variations on a theme....

It looks decent for being all boxy. The amount of glass helps. Great for Midtown infill.
And rounded corners. Someone thinks rounded corners are in this season...

That's the most beautiful chain link fence I ever saw in my entire life.
Beats what surrounds the White House at the moment...

There is a difference between blockchain technology, and bitcoins. Blockchain is becoming a commonly used tool in many applications, due to its publicly trackable chain (hence... blockchain). IBM is already offering a public-domain blockchain application.
Bitcoins, on the other hand, is fabricated, electronic money, that uses blockchain to track each coin. The value of bitcoin is debatable, but the underlying technology (blockchain) has already moved into the public arena.
I remember Ron Paul complaining that paper money wasn't backed by gold. Bitcoin?

not a scam, I guess it depends on whether you think bitcoin (any blockchain really) is a scam.
Blockchain strikes me as a scam, because it's an attempt to create money from electrons. Weirdest thing I heard of was the bitcoin mine being planned for West Texas...🤪

I'm curious if the "Vegas style pool" was scrubbed .
Drained, it appears. They haven't added water yet. Hard to tell....

Looks like Hilton contracted the randall davis paint scheme disease. Symptons include using strange paint patterns and colors to "elevate" and "energize" bland architecture.
It's not totally unfamiliar. Russian architecture seems to have been infected with it...

I know you are trolling, but these jokes were tired 10 years ago.....
As Kinkaid said above, a more practical developer could of found countless profitable uses for this property. It was essentially affordable grad apartments before for 30+ years........my bet is that Rice buys it up eventually and develops another 5 or 6 story complex for grad students, with a small market or retail along Bissonnet.
Another strip center. Yay....🤕

Some brand of Wyndham?

Not seeing any mention of Skanska, makes me hesitate to believe this is current. Perkins Eastman and Madison Marquette partnered on District Wharf in DC, so unclear if this was drawn up for the previous owner. This would be significant for the area so hoping this is accurate!
That's a good way to get an answer quick...

With all DUE respect, this chain of corrections has been quite entertaining.

And Chain of Corrections will be the name of my next band....

Here's hoping the lead tenant will be a relocation from outside of downtown
Or outside the metro area.

It's too bad (depends on your view, its also more opportunity) that - for now - most everything past Hardy Yards and to White Oak Music is basically dead with spotty barely afloat strip centers from the 80s and dilapidated buildings with a few regular homeless people camping out front on the other-side of the rail. Hopefully that White Oak Development draws more attention to that otherwise forgotten portion of Main
That says "infill development opportunity". Of course, it also says "more midrise blocks than you can stand..."

I assume "2018" means it's been on the drawing board for over two years?

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is happening faster than I thought!!!!!!! Mayor Turner called us "Silicon Bayou" I like the ring of that
Actually, it took way too long. Too many of these West Coasters seem to think all the Texas tech savvy resides in Austin or Dallas. They need an education...

This made me think if I had a photo of what you were talking about - and I did! I scanned in a page from a book called "Houston" by Robin Dewhurst - circa 1979. It's at the bottom of a two page photo of that particular stretch of the Southwest Freeway
AAA was in that office building, until they picked up and moved to Dallas...

The cynic in me says in five years they'd just throw the same crap up on the site but five years on. Might as well get it over with; I'm not getting any younger.
And here we are more than five years later, and I'm guessing still waiting, only with a little COVID on top....
